The harper is the single-speed bicycle you’ve been looking for-beautiful, lightweight, and affordable. It comes fully decked out with top shelf componentry including a flip-flop hub equipped with both, a fixed and a freewheel cog. Choose the fixed cog for a more aggressive riding style or the freewheel cog for effortless commuting. Single-speed/fixed-gear bikes are valued for their simplicity. With fewer moving parts they offer greater reliability and require less maintenance than bikes with multiple gears. Fewer parts also mean a lighter weight bike. The team at Critical Cycles takes quality very seriously. We sweat the details when designing our bikes, which is why we select brand name components to give you the best ride possible. Sleek, light, and agile, the harper will reward you with many miles of smooth reliable riding.

Front and rear brake, 2′ risers, large bmx style pedals that are open for straps, eyelids for front and rear rack, the list goes…
Love the frame, but you get what you pay for. I love my bike, been riding it to and from work for the past couple weeks, but already my chain broke. Other then that I’m super happy.

I guess I should have done a better job inspecting all the parts…
